1-2tablespoonsOlive OilFor drizzling.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or casserole pan.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sausage. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until well browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
Push the sausage to the side and add the diced onion to the skillet (add a splash of olive oil if the pan is dry). Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat.
In the prepared baking dish, combine the halved creamer potatoes and trimmed green beans in an even layer.
Add the cooked sausage, onion, and garlic mixture on top of the vegetables and toss gently to distribute.
Pour the chicken broth evenly over the mixture, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Drizzle the top lightly with olive oil to help with browning and moisture.
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes to allow the potatoes to start softening.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the top has a little color.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days in the fridge. This casserole freezes well. Cool completely then freeze in a sealed container for up to 2 months.
